Hooters Opening in China

[Timemaster Tim]

Hooters is opening its first retaurant in China according to this article (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-10/22/content_384872.htm).

It's being opened in Shanghai which is a little more westernised because of its special designation to be China's financial capital. No doubt, it will be tremendously expensive by Chinese standards, but it's a chance to see scantily clad women!!!! McDonalds, KFC, and Starbucks seem to be rather omnipresent already there. When I visited Shanghai, I was curious about if the burgers from McD's tasted the same in China. But not curious enough to actually go in one to eat. I preferred to try out the local fst food places or street vendors.

You'll just end up wanting to see more hooters about an hour later.

:lol: I knew ther was a joke in here, but I cannot beat that. It works on so many levels.

There is so much 'other' stuff going on in Shanghai that Hooters will seem extremely blaise. Unless you get white, blonde waitresses, then you'll have people lining up at the restaurant.

I'm of Chinese background, but there's no mistaking that I'm a tourist when I was visiting Shanghai (and other parts of China). I was offered "other stuff" on a very regular basis. Sales agents would magically appear out of a crowd and ask me "Karaoke? Karoake? Karaoke!?!?!" whilst tugging on my sleeve. I suspect that it wasn't really karaoke, in the same way that the "Massage? Massage?" come-ons weren't for massages. I also got stopped outside the various hotels I stayed at (official tourism hotels) with what I assume were pitches for call girls services.

The funniest one of these happened in Shanghai. Naked women in magazines are a no-no. Unless its "art". A newstand on the street had varuious magazines and newspapers for sale including an "art" magazine. My friend and I had stopped, having a chuckle over the cover which had a naked woman in a pose showing only a little breast with strategic hand placement. I guess that put us in the category of "people who would use escort services". Somebody appeared out of the crowd to slip us some business cards for an escort service. My friend who was working in Shanghai at the time laughed because the fastest way to action wasn't to pay for it. It was to flash your Canadian passport.

That is 100% true.

It was to flash your Canadian passport.
Or American.

Shanghai scares me. It's like 1993 Moscow. From what many people have told me, everyone there is looking to turn a buck. People try to strong arm you. Your business deals are sealed in whorehouses with sex with a hooker as a handshake. It's capitalism gone mad.

btw, isn't it just a myth than Chinese women generally have small breasts?

Well, that's a matter of opinion. It definitely depends on the quality and quantity of the handshake.

Well, all my Chinese girlfriends had small breasts. Not that it bothered me. Ther ones with big tits never went out with me. ;)

Semi-related:

On the Dan Patrick Radio show today, Dan and Dibbs are talking about their trip to Hooters for dinner and to watch Game 2 (they couldn't be at the game as they had to fly to St. Louis in time to do their show at 12 noon St. Louis time).

The highlight (or lowlight, depending) was their description of the 7 month (or so) pregnant waitress waddling around. At Hooters. Ugh.

More than a mouthful is a waste in my book.

There are other things that can be done with tits that do not involve your mouth. On that note, I think I'll exit the thread. :oops:

[Dirt]

Just when it was starting to get really interesting. :P

Chinese are a pretty diverse race. Whether or not they are all small chested depends on where they are from, I think. With breast implants now, who the hell can tell anymore.

I hate Dan Patrick. Actually, he's not so bad, but his radio show is awful. Poll question from last week: Is it worse (for Red Sox players and fans) to be swept or lose in game seven? Are you fucking serious? Also, Dibbs saying he doesn't like it when Little Leaguers (Little Leaguers!) shake hands after a game, or that at the younger stages, everyone gets a trophy. It takes the Duke to finally break his 20-minute update schedule to interject some common sense into those moronic dialogues. That would be the best part. Watch the Duke shut Dibbs up on two counts in sentence: "Ron, it's never bad to show good sportsmanship and if you don't show kids what winning's like, why will they ever want to achieve it in the future?" Also: Monday conversations with Da Playmaka, Michael Irvin, are just too terrible for words.

Then why do I listen? Because the only other sports radio opposite him is Jim Rome. I'd rather be eaten alive by hissing cockroaches than listen to that lunch box.

You can tell with practice. You'll need to use your mouth for starters. ;)

[dannimal]

I agree on pretty much all of that, Bill. I do think that those kinds of things are infrequent enough to tolerate, though. More often, he's a moron in an entertaining way.

The poll questions are almost always stupid.

The Duke rocks. Not afraid to speak his mind, able to put Dibs in his place with little effort, able and willing to play the straight man, but also smart and agile enough to do it and be bitingly funny at the same time.

What I like is that it's a guy who is normally on TV being a "newscaster" (I know there are wacky catchphrases and stuff, but still) being "himself". Singing "My Corolla", and being relaxed. He also has a tendency to get other famous people/athletes on and they're relaxed as well.

The Irvin segments are so ludicrous that I can laught at them. I love the Bill Walton segments during NBA season where his "Hello" runs into an 8 minute rambling mess, which ends with "How are you, Dan?" and Dan replying that they're out of time.

Breast implants defy gravity. You can always tell when they lie down on their back and the breasts refuse to obey and fall down flat and towards the sides slightly. Whether or not that's a plus to you is a personal matter of taste.

Since 2 people have brought it up, I'll elaborate. I live in Southern California, just about every freaking woman on the street has implants, I can tell real from fake usually even clothed (not as easy with all the new kinds of bras these days). What I'm saying is that with so many women getting implants, you can't tell which of the population are originally small breasted and which are true big breasted.

Perhaps soon humans will come with designer labels:

"Made by Harold Zeigler". "Built by Margaret Rolls".

Of course humans will gain status by having "better" labels, and we'll all make fun of the ones from the budget shops.

Some of the elitists will try to convince us they are better because they are "100% pure", but they'll just be laughed at. "100% loser!"

In a world where computer programmers create digital reality and surgeons create human appearances, the idea of "pure" reality is quickly fading...

[Jason McMaster]

this is going to quickly dive into the world of poser porn.

Fake breasts tend to feel like tennisballs :?

Slightly fuzzy with a flat stitch?

Not to be argumentative for the sake of being argumentative, but I've lived in SoCal for almost 4 years and I can assure you that "just about every freaking woman" does not have implants. Maybe in certain areas or at certain bars, but not on the whole.

Every one of them IS blonde, though, and all of them surf. Even the old Vietnamese women that run the place we like to go for lunch all the time.

I have read that, satistically, the average bust size of asian women is indeed smaller than north american, but only by a slight margin - not nearly to the extent that is popular belief. They say the difference in diets is probably the reason, as well as genetics.

It's one of those situations where you have to be careful about how you read the data, though. If you read that "19% of chinese women have a C-cup or larger, compared to 21% of US women" (just making those up, by the way), it seems roughly the same. But it doesn't tell you if a larger perportion of the chinese women with big breasts are overweight than the US big-busted women, for instance. Statistically, a D-cup is a D-cup, whether you're 120lbs or 220. :P

But yes, they're going to have to hire western girls to work at the Hooters if they want them to be a draw.
